In the picture below was Gen. Gowon in 1973 shaking hands with baby Trudeau, son to the then Prime minister of Canada Elliot Trudeau.

Fast forward to 2015, that baby is now voted as the Prime Minister of Canada..

Meanwhile a country close to Niger republic voted Gowon's former colleague and age mate..

Without Sentiment, Let discuss .


Things like this are some of the reasons why the slave contrapment called Nigeria is about to be destroyed

"When the student is ready, the Master will appear". So, when Nigerian youth stop being preoccupied with frivolities and materialism, they can take over the leadership of their country. Justin Trudeau was not 'appointed to,' nor 'given' the Prime Minister position, he prepared well and fought for it over the years, his opponents even launched a massive campaign against him, using his young age, but he fought hard and won. That's how you do it, you don't wait for it to be handed to you.

Go and see what is happening in SUGs in universities across the country and you will know that the youth of this country are hopeless.
They are as bad as the current crop of barbarians in power.

Yeah. You are wiser than the Canadians that voted him.
Anuofia.

Is it not better than the same man who was head of state in 1983 to come back in 2015?

In this technology and sophisticated age, your president is a certificates old former military man who knows nothing about Microsoft Office.

Someone voted for OBJ in 2007.

Someone voted to make T Orji a senator.

Are they wise?

Africa needed one country to do well, just like Japan did for Asia. That country was meant to be Biafra.

But by fate of destiny Biafra has been bogged down by incompetence that is not of its own making.

I sense nepotism.
He won a keenly contested election,defeated an incumbent that has spent 9 yrs. Opinion pools rated him third during the early stages of the campaign but progressively grew his fan base and finally inflicted the change in government via election.Nepotism played no roles but the policies he preached as against the incumbents which canadians are already fed up on.

Obama has served his two terms.. GEJ can recentest for election if he wants. Two terms is two times in office.

In America, The Bush family has had two presidents and a third is contesting. Clinton was a first lady and is trying to return.

In all these cases, the conversation is about what they have to offer not their age or family lineage.
the truth is those who have ruled won't want to come back to rule again because the world is dynamic and of course they know their would always be capable hands..besides the western world encourages growth amongst the young and upcoming...in our useless country the reverse is the case...can anyone still believe that obj would be running shows in this country and also that many gathered around an old man who actually never improved himself politically/educationally to become the president of nigeria where there a lot of intellects...is nigeria moving forward or backward...what happened to dynamic younger persons like fashola becoming th president of nigeria...nigeria might take forever to move an inch forward...

@Poster - if the picture was taken in 1973, then how come he is 42 this year.
It's either the picture is wrong or the age is wrong.

Are these the best the youth got today. there are many more who can deliver where these ones failed. Nigeria is not about sixty years old men. these people have done their best and it has done us more harm than good. Let's have a deep reflection. SHY NA SO WE GO DEY GO?.

In Alabi-Isama's book, there is a picture of Udoma Udo Udoma, one of the ministerial nominees being held by his father, Udo Udoma, the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly in 1978. The picture was taken around 1968 during the Civil War, when Udoma was less than 5 years old.

Oh, please....did any of the rulers u mentioned stay in office more than they where supposed to
The answer is no.
In africa u find an idiot trying to amend the constitution so as to rule longer and if it doesn't favour him he rules by force...
U can't try that in advanced climes!!

Even Jonathan who was very much younger in age than Buhari was a disappointment. Therefore age is not a yardstick for performance.

Please, fellow nairalanders, it is not about age and it will never be. We are all living witnesses to the unacceptable rate of stealing that took place in the last administration of a younger President. Even the President was almost consumed that he had to throw in the towel with wisdom. Young men and women stole in this Country the way it has never been done and we all know them.
The unfortunate thing is that we do not have a standard. We have not yet decided collectively as a nation the standard to maintain. Nothing good will come out of governance without an acceptable standard on what to allow and what not to allow.
